It's easy for girls to take the latter.
Bullshit. Most girls have a sex drive equal to that of men even if society does like to pretend otherwise. Try being in a serious (adult) relationship (with a girl) for any period of time and watch how well they cope if you refuse to put out.

I guess I could go a year without sex fairly easily, as in about a month I will have. Though to do it immediately would probably be a bit much, I'm not as disguisted with myself as I was 12 months ago, so sometime in the near future I may actually have some interest in pursuing girls again.
If you ask me, from personal experience, and from having a lot of female friends, I'd almost say that women have quite a fair bigger sex drive than men. :\ Correct me if I may be wrong, ladies, but that's just from observation.

That's a really weird question because I can't see a reason why anyone would have to choose. I'm not dating a woman that would stop me from gaming for any reason. Someone who stops you from doing what you love is not the right person for you.

Games with no sex. It's been this way for 19 years, I see no reason why I should upset the status quo.

Could I have a girlfriend instead, and all the games I want for six months?

The fact that anybody at all has voted on "no games" is an extremely sad comment on our society.
You seem to be forgetting that a fair portion of the people here are sexless nerds (yours truly included). As such, I'm not surprised at all that many would jump on that option.

Anyone who chooses games should be neutered.

Incidentally, this is kind of a dumb poll pandering to the stereotypes about geeks and sex. And what would be keeping anyone from doing both?
Agreed. Seriously, way to break the stereotype, OP.

BTW, nice avatar. I love Porcupine Tree.

I like sex.. However I.. I dont know... I dont think I could pick.. I guess no sex means that my fiance left me so I would probably be in a bit of a depression and frequently game so probably... I have no fucking idea.

Ouch. I'm glad we're not going out.
Well, It's different for girls. We can go for long periods without it or without wanting it, even though it varies from girl to girl. Besides, It's easier in a relationship without sex, see if your really compatible with each other.
It's definitely not different for girls in general, it's just different for some people as opposed to others. I know a lot of girls who can't go without sex and start freaking out and climbing the walls if they're in a relationship and they don't get any, much like I do. I also know some guys who are very kinda "meh" about sex and probably would actually forego it for a year of gaming. Also consider that it might not be you though, it might be him. If your boyfriend is that low-committment a proposition that you could go a year without sexual contact and it's wouldn't even bother you, then it's a real possibility that he's just not the one for you. I've met plenty of girls who were kinda "meh" about sex until they met a particular guy and then they transformed virtually overnight into insatiable vixens...

It's easier in a relationship without sex because a relationship without sexual contact is really just a very close friendship as it doesn't require the same levels of committment or compatibility that a relationship with intimacy requires. Of course, just because something's easier doesn't mean it's better, sometimes something difficult is worth taking the time to do well (which is why people enjoy playing games on the hardest difficulty - sure you can go on "easy" and beat the game quickly but where's the fun in that...). You don't want to spend years gradually falling in love with someone and then finally have sex only to discover that he's deeply into some fetish or sexual practice that you have absolutely no time for, or (even worse) that he's extremely selfish and only cares about his own needs. If you're keen on someone, always best to get familiar with their sexual quirks as soon as possible, and also get familiar with how things play out in the bedroom once you've been at it for a while and the novelty wears off. Some people can keep the passion alive, some can't. These things are worth knowing about before you get too attached, both emotionally and legally...

There has to be a catch.

Is it JUST sex? Or do we get the social life packaged with it as well?
And how clean is our partner? And do they get around?

If they are completely clean, and there is just the sex involved, then quite obviously the sex would be my choice.

There's just nothing that beats the amazing touch of a woman. Not even playing Portal. No games for a year, my girlfriend, eyes, ears, and blood pressure will thank me. ^-^

Definitely being able to play games. It is not that hard to sneak off somewhere and have sex without anyone knowing, thus getting both. It is a bit more obvious when your computer or console/TV disappear for a romantic weekend.
Yes, I cheat.

Ok, granted, I will agree with you that you should know what your partner is into before you become too attached to each other, however, I've learned that introducing sex into a relationship can also kill it. Also, with or without sex, there will always be difficult problems in a relationship. Truth be told, I wish that I would have held off having sex with my current boyfriend because maybe things would be less complicated than they are now. And once sex is introduced into a relationship, the real attachment happens, at least for women.

Can't decide.
On the one hand, my GPA would appreciate the whole no games thing. On the other hand, I don't have that many games currently and am in a long term relationship so going without those 3 months of sex I am currently getting would not be that much harder. It's a toss up.

Well I have done the former for the passed 4-5 years so I really don't see a choice here.

easy, don't admit your age and I will assume you are 13.

It's good to see that at least 60.3% of Escapists are understandable, reasonable people.
